Hi!..

This is Priyanka. I did B.Sc(IT) and currently have 1 yr of exp..Planning to take admission in June 2008 intake. by that time will have 1.5 yrs of experience. I already have XAT 2006 score. Their website says that any of the CAT/XAT/GMAT score of last 3 yrs are valid for GMBA. Is it true??..This XAT 2006 score will be valid for June 2008 and Jan 2009 intake??..

What abt loan and visa..

I guess its done by SP Jain itself but do they ask for varoius documents like security etc..and to show some liquidity assets etc???..

Please do reply

Hi,
I'm not taking any of the exams like CAT, GMAT, XAT. But want to appear for SP Jain's conducted Aptitude Test on 30th September for Jan '08 intake.

Can you pls elaborate on what type of questions are asked? Are they of CAT level or SNAP level. How many sections are there?

My academics are not that strong. How can it be overcomed and make my application worth for selection?

Thanks n regards,
Maddy

it would be really gr8 if u can provide me info on these streams in regards to

1) what is the competition among students opting for these streams, best if u can tell me the applicant to admit ratio.

2) experiences of student pursuing these stream of study in respect to how is the course content, how is it reviewed by the industry etc.

3) evaluation stage experience n details of students from these streams.

4) any other info relevant n would help.


thanx a ton, tc

Hi Virgo,
One serious suggestion dont choose your stream for placement or anything else ask ur self where ur passion is what u can do better

suppose if u ll choose IB becoz of its good profile and placement and u r not comfortable with Finance equity research you will be not coming up to the mark so think where is ur passion

All the best

that's a gr8 initiative on ur part, n i m sure the experience u will share is gonna be invaluable for the aspirants of gmba.

as blackblade said, it would be nice if students from each stream share their experiences with regards to their learning at spjain.

also i would request that if all of u can share ur evaluation experience (in detail), coz many of the aspirants are gonna face the evaluation rounds pretty soon. and then there are some lucky ones as blackblade....

Evaluation Experience @ SPJCM @ Dubai
Exam
90 Mins
Very okay types question in
Sentence Correction
Critical Reasoning
Data Sufficiency
Problem solving
Data Interpretation
General knowledge
I left most of the GK questions, as negative marking was there
My take: Take care of time
Essay 1 : Why MBA and Why now.
Essay 2 : What are your short term and long term plans after MBA
Case Study : A firm lacks in IT infrastructure, you being one of the director have to convince the other members on the board. If they agree what will be your immediate execution strategy.
GD
Topic: Globalization is good or bad.
I was in a batch of four, I put my points why globalization is bad other three guys were argued how I am bad and globalization is good.
We all were PIed by the center director (I guess) and one more chap.
P1: Tell us about yourself
P2: You are doing good in your job, career is going smooth, then why a FULL time MBA.
P2: What are the challenges you face in Job and how this program will help to out to handle it better.
P1: You are from ERP back ground, what company you will prefer a pure logistics or a company making logictics s/w (I screwed up this one )
P2: Where do you see yourself after 2 years 6 years and 10 years from now.
Then some questions related to my job like industry standards, market share of top three erp vendors regionally etc etc
Over all the penal was very warm and understanding.
They made me so comfortable that I even said the word DAMN once, which one of them noted on his paper.
I say: Work on your application, they have all your details and essays you write in exam at the time of interview. Since they are very tolerant be precise.

Thanks for the info...but i have gone thru this thread already... would like to know blaclblade's GD/PI experiences thts y i posted this mesg here...
